We race towards the Father.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."

Grace Camp 2010

Okay, I just came back from church camp. I have been going for nine years or something like that. I was a counselor this year. I loved my cabin girls soooo much!

I had a really stupid attitude. For-real. I realize that the Lord can teach me in any situation I am in, but I had a cocky attitude at the beginning of the week that the Lord promptly blew to pieces on Tuesday.

I figured since I had been at a special needs camp before, that I had basically learned what I could from summer camps....(Soooooooo stupid. I know! I had no reason to act like that. Yeah, I learned at Camp Barnabas, but not that much! My ridiculous pride...)

It was a good reminder that the more I think I know, the farther off I am. God can move in our lives at any time and just because we have been through something harder before doesn't mean that He can't teach us in the seemingly easier things.

Now that I told you about my stupid attitude, I am going to tell you what the theme for the week was.

The "I AM's" of Christ. We were in the gospel of John all week. Exciting for me, 'cause that is my favorite book of the Bible.

We talked about Jesus being the..Bread of LifeLight of the WorldResurrection and LifeThe WayThe Good ShepherdThe DoorTrue Vine

Packed week, I know. After the week I had a song going on in my head all week. "You Are" by Tenth Avenue North. I'm posting the lyrics.

Lord of empty spaceYou breathe and then createBefore the earth was madeYou areThe King of every ageOutside of time and spaceThe heavens speak Your nameYou areYou are

Lord of brilliant lightYou separate the nightAnd everything insideYou areThe One who calms the seasAnd every part of meWith just a word You speakYou areYou are.

I give You all of me for all You areHere I amTake me apartTake me apartI give You all of me for all You areHere I amTake me apartTake me apart

Angels bowing downBeneath the rushing soundA voice that thunders outYou areThe one who holds the starsAnd the beating of my heartExalted above allYou areYou are

Yeah, that is all I got for now. I am thinking that I might go through some specific things we talked about in a separate post.
